Komlan Agbessi could be a role model for young African scientists. After graduating from high school in 2004, he has had a breathtaking career path which led him to become an internationally renowned engineer. He studied at the National Engineering School of Metz, the Paul Verlaine University of Metz (now the University of Lorraine), and the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts et Métiers ParisTech where he obtained a Ph.D.

In 2013, Komlan Agbessi joined Airbus, the world's largest civil helicopter manufacturer and one of the world's leading designers of military helicopters. There, he has been the Work Package Manager for more than 7 years.

Though he recently became the minister of primary, secondary, technical education and handicraft, Dodzi Kokoroko has a closer relationship with the University of Lomé which was established in 1970.

After taking over the university's management in May 2016, the professor of law launched a vast program to modernize both its infrastructures and courses.

After quitting soccer following the Cabinda tragedy in 2008, Kodjovi "Dodo" OBILALE, the brilliant ex-goalkeeper of the Togolese team launched "Agrofoot." The latter is a $10,000 project, funded by the Confederation of African Football, that promotes sustainable agriculture in Togo through football. The former player's main ambition is to encourage the consumption of local products and get other players to invest in agriculture.

Born on 31 December 1961, Kodjo Adedze is the minister of Trade and the Private Sector. A brilliant graduate of the national school of administration (where he completed a cycle 3 degree in customs), he joined the civil service in 1988.

Later, while in office, he obtained a specialized graduate diploma (DESS) in law and a diploma in customs at the National Customs School of Neuilly-sur-Seine in France.

Throughout his career at the General Directorate of Customs, which later merged with Taxation to become the OTR, he successively held the positions of a customs inspector, director of studies and customs legislation, director-general of the public procurement regulatory authority, director-general of customs, commissioner of customs and indirect taxes, and commissioner-general of OTR, after the departure of the Rwandan Gaperi.

An evangelical Christian, Adedze is considered one of the most moderate members of the ruling party (of which he is officially No. 2).

This abroad-trained technocrat (Université du Littoral Côte d'Opale de Dunkerque, Ecole Supérieure des Affaires (ESA) de Lille), notably in law and administration, was for several years a mission coordinator for the Grassroots Development Program (PRADEB) which focuses on improving youth employment and tackling challenges facing them.

However, in 2014, he was appointed by President Gnassingbé as head of the Société Aéroportuaire de Lomé Tokoin (SALT). A political actor, he is the National Coordinator of the Mouvement des Jeunes du Parti au Pouvoir.

If Prof. Kako Nubukpo has a more- than- eloquent academic background as the current Dean of the Faculty of Economics and Management (FASEG) at the University of Lomé, it is above all his positions and the constant struggle for the end of the CFA that propelled him to the forefront of the continental and global scene. While his fight against the CFA put him under the spotlight, it cost him his position in the Togolese government and that of director of the digital francophonie.

A former head of the "Economic Analysis and Research" Unit of the WAEMU Commission, a former director of the Autonomous Center for Studies and Capacity Building for Development in Togo (CADERDT), and also an honorary member of the African Center for Economic Intelligence and Monitoring (CAVIE), he is the author of the books “Sortir de la servitude volontaire” (Breaking free from voluntary servitude) and “l’urgence africaine : changeons le modèle de croissance” (The African emergency: changing the growth model).
